It’s The Gay that Caused Allen’s Loss
You had to know Petey was coming out with something new:
AFT Calls on Republican Senatorial Comm. to Rescind ‘Sexual Orientation’ Policy, Says Pro-’Gay’ Political Correctness Led to Sen. Allen’s Loss
Contact: Peter LaBarbera, Americans For Truth, 630-546-4439
NAPERVILLE, Ill., Nov. 10 /Christian Newswire/ — Americans For Truth President Peter LaBarbera today called on the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) to rescind its “sexual orientation” policy as inconsistent with the GOP’s professed pro-family values, and said pro-“gay” Political Correctness contributed to Sen. George Allen’s narrow loss for re-election in Virginia.
LaBarbera also called on all homosexual staff in both major parties to be open about their lifestyle in the interest of full disclosure to the public and each Member’s constituents.
Allen’s defeat–after failing to strongly embrace Virginia’s successful marriage amendment–led to the GOP’s loss of the Senate. Allen is widely reported to have homosexual staff. Jay Timmons, a senior Allen aide and former director of the NRSC, is among those being targeted for “outing” by homosexual bloggers, as is Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman.
“In recent weeks, homosexual activists have sought to ‘out’ various high-level GOP staffers and leaders as homosexuals, to highlight their hypocrisy in working for a socially conservative party,” LaBarbera said. “Now we in the pro-family movement are calling for full disclosure for a different reason: because homosexual GOP staff and pro-‘gay’ policies in the party are undermining the wholesome values Republicans say they support.”
Noting that the homosexual newspaper Washington Blade reported in 2004 that the NRSC has a nondiscrimination policy based on “sexual orientation,” LaBarbera said: “Who knew that the Republican Party committee responsible for electing senators across the country has embraced the exact same pro-homosexual ‘orientation’ policy that social conservatives have been fighting for decades?”
Due to the Mark Foley scandal, social conservatives are learning about the existence of a network of homosexual GOP staffers on Capitol Hill who promote policies antithetical to the party’s stated “family values.”
In 2004, the pro-family group PFOX (Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays) was outraged when Sen. Allen refused to sign their pledge supporting tolerance for former homosexuals, then went ahead and broke a promise to another pro-family group by backing a pro-“gay” federal “Hate Crimes” bill. Allen also signed a pro-homosexual “nondiscrimination” pledge for his Senate office.
“George Allen’s lukewarm support for Virginia’s marriage amendment cost him his Senate seat,” LaBarbera said. “Now we are left to wonder: did the stealth influence of gay Republican staffers move him toward this course that would ultimately turn the Senate over to the Democrats?”

At least somebody is working on the really big problems. I was afraid the country would just worry about war and peace. (Sigh.)

Maybe its time I canceled my comcast account. Comcast (1) pisses me off and (2) apparently is happy to offer its services to hate groups.
Not a big fan of at&t either, but at least DSL is cheaper.

So, he’s suggesting a Sexual Interest Disclosure Form? All right then: let’s include marital infidelity, divorces, maybe even preferred sexual positions. We can even bring it to the state level, and complain that Illinois not only has the most lack ethics disclosure laws, but the most lax sexual disclosure laws. (Really, when was the last really good Illinois sex scandal? Henry Hyde is the only one I remember.)
Of course, any good Sexual Interest Disclosure Form will have to ask about showing an abnormal interest in kinky sexual activities and venues. I figure that will keep Petey from running for office, since he’ll never have enough time to disclose all of his voyeuristic activities.
